Enabling flow control on the port didn't have any meaningful impact on the speeds. I was testing the lower speeds in preparation of moving to my ISP's fiber internet (I can get up to 2Gbps connectivity).

Got my Wiitek in today. Plugged it into my Grandstream GWN7813 and connected my Zyxel NWA50AX PRO. Previously, the Zyxel was connected to a 1Gbps RJ-45 port on the same switch. Right off, the Zyxel and the WiiTek auto-neg 2.5Gbps. Grandstream reported the module as 10Gbps. That's standard...

Is the older 10Gtek a Broadcom or Marvell chipset?

I'm not OP, but I've got a Wiitek SFP-10G-T-100 coming this weekend. I don't have any plans for testing it with 10GbE connectivity, just 2.5GbE. If you want a more reputable brand, you can pick up a 10Gtek with the same chipset under the model number ASF-10G-T100. Although the lead time on the...

The firmware on h3c.com should work just fine. It's for the 9300 series.

I've got a Lenovo p520 (Intel W-2133), it has these PCIe ports available: • Slot 1: PCIe® 3.0 x8, full height, full length, 25W, double-width, by CPU • Slot 2: PCIe® 3.0 x16, full height, full length, 75W, by CPU • Slot 3: PCIe® 3.0 x4, full height, full length, 25W, double-width, by PCH • Slot...

Depends on if it can be disabled in the firmware. The AOC-S25G-i2S was designed for use in Supermicro servers, and servers generally don't have power saving options enabled. I'm a least hoping if ASPM isn't supported, we could flash the Intel firmware. I'm also hoping it runs cool enough I...

That might be because the ConnectX-4 LX was/is very picky about ASPM. Some people have said flashing specific firmware allowed for ASPM while others posted saying even if ASPM is enabled with the right firmware, if it was connected to a PCIe slot that was directly connected to the CPU high...

I'm trying Supermicro's AOC-S25G-i2S. Also based on the XXV710. Comes with a slightly larger heatsink which might help the cooling some. The AOC-S25G-i2S is slightly larger than the Silicom but it should fit in the Lenovos.

Fantastic. Thanks for posting the instructions.

I haven't been able to find any place where instructions are posted. Seems like interesting cards, and the xxv710 platform is interesting (and newer than the ConnectX-4 LX I've been looking at). Being able to flash Intel firmware would be great

I've decided to not go with 10Gbase-t/Nbase-T. Instead I've narrowed it down to either using a Mellanox ConnectX-4 LX or a SolarFlare SFN7002F. Any insights on which one is "better"? I'm told the SolarFlare should run cooler, but I'm hesitant about driver support (running Proxmox) and SPF+...

Looking for recommendations on a quad port 2.5G Nic for Gen 1 m90q running Proxmox. Seems like a couple of years ago Realtek was the preferred choice in this area as the i225/i226 seemed to have disconnect issues? That still the case? Any recommendations on what card manufacturer to go with...
